Set in a New York apartment building, Fourteen Days is an irresistibly propulsive novel with an unusual twist: each character in this diverse, eccentric cast of neighbours has been secretly written by a different, major literary voice - from Margaret Atwood and John Grisham to Emma Donoghue and Celeste Ng. One week into lockdown, the tenants of a run-down apartment building in Manhattan have begun to gather on the rooftop each evening and tell stories. With each passing night, more and more neighbours gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants - some of whom have barely spoken to each other before now - become real neighbours. A dazzling, heartwarming and ultimately surprising narrative, Fourteen Days is an ode to the power of storytelling and human connection. Includes writing from: Charlie Jane Anders, Margaret Atwood, Jennine Capo Crucet, Pat Cummings, Joseph Cassara, Angie Cruz, Sylvia Day, Emma Donoghue, Dave Eggers, Diana Gabaldon, Tess Gerritsen, John Grisham, Maria Hinojosa, Mira Jacob, Erica Jong, CJ Lyons, Celeste Ng, Tommy Orange, Mary Pope Osborne, Doug Preston, Alice Randall, Caroline Randall, Ishmael Reed, Roxana Robinson, Nelly Rosario, James Shapiro, Hampton Sides, R.L.

the quest for swift justice, the complexities of truth often get overlooked. This gripping narrative explores the moral dilemmas faced by law enforcement and the legal system when they prioritize expediency over thorough investigation. As the story unfolds, it delves into the impact on victims, families, and communities, questioning the balance between justice and the potential for wrongful convictions. The book challenges readers to consider the implications of a society that favors quick resolutions over careful deliberation.

Dark Isle off the Florida coast is said to be cursed: drownings, disappearances and hauntings have been the fate of intruders. The people who lived there were once enslaved. Now abandoned, it is the target of greedy developers. Lovely Jackson is the last survivor and claims to be its legal owner. But there is not a shred of evidence to prove that is true. It's unlikely that the developers will be deterred by the claims of one old woman. They have millions; Lovely only has Steven Mahon, a pro bono environmental lawyer, and Mercer Mann, a floundering novelist, to fight in her corner. With the court case looming they're in a race against time to unearth the devastating secrets of the island and to see justice, finally, served.

For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, and drugs to contract killings.

Keith’s father became a legendary prosecutor, determined to “clean up the Coast.” Hugh’s father became the “Boss” of Biloxi’s criminal underground. Keith went to law school and followed in his father’s footsteps. Hugh preferred the nightlife and worked in his father’s clubs. The two families were headed for a showdown—one that would ultimately happen in a courtroom. Life itself hangs in the balance in The Boys from Biloxi, a sweeping saga rich with history and with a large cast of unforgettable characters.

Брус Кейбъл, собственик на книжарница и търговец на редки издания, се подготвя за гостуването на Мърсър Ман, чийто втори роман е станал бестселър. Но ето че ураганът Лио се насочва към острова. Когато губернаторът на Флорида разпорежда незабавна евакуация на жителите на Камино, повечето от тях бягат на континента. Брус обаче решава да остане. Лио е опустошителен: доста къщи, хотели и магазини са разрушени, наводнени са улици, загиват десетина души. Изглежда, че една от жертвите е Нелсън Кер, приятел на Брус и автор на трилъри. Но раните на главата му подсказват, че по-скоро става дума за убийство. Кой би желал смъртта на Нелсън? Местната полиция е ангажирана с последиците от урагана, а и е неспособна да разследва случая. Брус започва да се пита дали престъпните типове в последния ръкопис на приятеля му не са нещо повече от плод на неговото въображение. Възможно ли е ключът за разрешаване на случая да е там – черно на бяло? Онова, което Брус постепенно открива, е по-шокиращо от сюжетните обрати на Нелсън Кер. И много по-опасно.

Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee, his driver, who's also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy. He lives alone in a small but extremely safe penthouse apartment, and his primary piece of furniture is a vintage pool table. He drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun.

Why these clients? Because he believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial, even if he, Sebastian, has to cheat to secure one.

Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. In the deciding game at the climax of the season, to the surprise and dismay of virtually everyone, Rick actually got into the game.

Svazek obsahuje zkrácené verze čtyř úspěšných románů různých žánrů od světových autorů. Jednotlivé tituly jsou doplněny stručnými informacemi o jejich tvůrcích. Tento svazek obsahuje romány: 1) John Grisham: Poslední porotce - Když do malého jižanského Clantonu přišel roku 1970 mladý William Traynor, ještě netušil, že mu plánovaná krátká praxe v místních novinách změní život jednou provždy. Než se nadál, stal se majitelem novin a redaktorem, který se zhluboka zabral do případu znásilnění a vraždy mladé matky dvou dětí. Viník byl jasný, porota jej odsoudila, ale neshodla se na trestu smrti. Výsledkem tedy byly dva doživotní tresty. Zdálo se, že spravedlnosti bylo učiněno zadost. Jenomže po několika letech Willie, jak mu v městečku všichni říkají, zjišťuje, že vrah má být podmínečně propuštěn na svobodu. A tomu už nedokáže zabránit ani svými ohnivými články. A pak zemře první z porotců. Po smrti druhého porotce vypukne ve městě panika. Jenomže něco tady nehraje. Vrah zabíjí ty, kteří hlasovali proti rozsudku smrti. Kdo tedy vůbec vraždí? (158 stran) 2) Steve Hamilton: Krvavé nebe - V divočině je přátelství vzácné, ale uzavírá se na život a na smrt. Bývalý policista Alex McKnight se proto nerozmýšlí ani minutu, když ho kamarád Vinnie požádá, aby mu pomohl najít pohřešovaného bratra. V pustině kanadských lesů se ale oba záhy stávají nedobrovolnými účastníky dramatu, jehož hnacím motorem je zaslepená pomstychtivost. (122 stran) 3) Kristin Hannahová: Mezi sestrami - Sestry Meghan a Claire se po letech odloučení potkávají na důležité životní křižovatce. Claire se právě chystá provdat za muže, kterého zná sotva týden, a Meghann si začíná připouštět, že jí kariéra právničky ke štěstí nestačí. Ani pro jednu není snadné vyrovnat se s křivdami z minulosti, ale brzy se ukáže, že sesterské pouto dokáže překonat nepřekonatelné. (132 stran) 4) Paul Garrison: Hledání ve vlnách - Když Jim Leighton, trenér v posilovně, dostane nabídku doprovázet jednoho ze svých svěřenců na plavbě na luxusní plachetnici, nepochybně počítá s dobrodružstvím na širém moři. Těžko ho ale může napadnout, že jeho chlebodárce skrývá tajemství, pro které stojí za to zabít, nebo že on sám bude muset osvědčit nově nabyté námořnické umění v té nejtěžší zkoušce. (157 stran)

In his final hours in the Oval Office the outgoing President grants a full pardon to Joel Backman, a notorious Washington power broker who has spent the last six years hidden away in a federal prison. It's a controversial move, but what no one else knows is that the presidential pardon comes as a result of enormous pressure from the CIA. They claim that Backman may have obtained secrets that would compromise the world's most sophisticated satellite surveillance system. Backman is quietly smuggled out of the country in a military cargo plane; he is given a new name, a new identity, and a new home in Italy. Eventually, once he has settled into his new life, the CIA will leak his whereabouts to the Israelis, the Russians, the Chinese and the Saudis. Then the CIA will do what it does best: sit back and watch. The question is not whether Backman will survive - there's no chance of that. The question the CIA needs answered is: who will kill him?

A convicted rapist and murderer returns to Ford County, Mississippi, seeking revenge on the jurors who dared convict him.
